WOMEN are urged to support a hospice’s first-ever ladies’ midnight walk to help raise the £2.2m it needs this year.

The walk for Nightingale House Hospice will start from NEWI’s Plas Coch sports centre on Saturday, June 16.

On the stroke of midnight, walkers will set out on a 10-mile route around Wrexham in a bid to raise tens of thousands of pounds for the work of the hospice.

The walk, which is fully marshalled along the well-lit, fully paved route, is being sponsored by North Wales Beds which are also offering a bed as prize for the person raising the most in sponsorship.

Hospice events co-ordinator Sue Gale said: “Whether you want to walk with friends or colleagues, from your company, your PTA or your local pub, to remember a loved one, to have fun, to get fit or just to come along and support the work of Nightingale House, you can be sure of lots of good company and a marvellous fundraising experience.

“We welcome ladies aged 14 and over to ring us on (01978) 314292 and request a sign-up form, or you can download a copy from our website at www.nightingalehouse.co.uk.”
